Tomorrow is the day that thousands of Plymouth Argyle fans have been anticipating, as the Greens prepare to take on the European champions Chelsea in the Emirates FA Cup.

Nearly 6,000 members of the Green Army are expected to travel to Stamford Bridge to watch the Pilgrims face their opponents in the fourth round.

Argyle were drawn away to Chelsea after beating Birmingham City at St Andrew's.

The last time the two sides went head to head was in 1989, when the Blues won 1-0 at Home Park.

Tickets are fully sold out for the fixture, with supporters reminded that ticket collections are not available at Stamford Bridge.
